The essential oil obtained from the branches and leaves of Atalantia roxburghiana Hook f. (Rutaceae) has been analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Forty-three components of the essential oil, representing 98.6% of the total amt. of the oil, were identified. The main constituents were monoterpene hydrocarbons: γ-terpinene (38.3%), p-cymene (15.7%), β-pinene (5.2%) and α-pinene (4.7%). A comparison between constituents of the branch and leaf oil with the ones reported in the literature for other Atalantia ssp. is pointed out and some chemotaxonomical considerations have been provided.

Abstract

The essential oil obtained from the branches and leaves of Atalantia roxburghiana Hook f. (Rutaceae) has been analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Forty-three components of the essential oil, representing 98.6% of the total amt. of the oil, were identified. The main constituents were monoterpene hydrocarbons: γ-terpinene (38.3%), p-cymene (15.7%), β-pinene (5.2%) and α-pinene (4.7%). A comparison between constituents of the branch and leaf oil with the ones reported in the literature for other Atalantia ssp. is pointed out and some chemotaxonomical considerations have been provided.
